Judges' Choice Winner: Drumroll Please....

The judges final selection is in, and it's surprising - all three chose widely and picked a total of eight great designs from the top twelve including four that didn't make it to the finals, but two of them lined up on one which tipped the balance. THE JUDGES' TOP PICK IS...

To get the judge's overall winner, we applied a simple three point scoring to each of their ranked picks. The one with the most points was the only one chosen by two of the three judges. You can see our final scoring below.*

But that's just the top pick, check out which designs the judges really liked and congratulations to Emily and all these designers on being personally selected by our judges.

Redeploy Rug:My instant reaction upon seeing the Redeploy rug was wondering where we could put one in our home. The landscape pattern of the rug makes me want to touch it, lay down on it. It's an amazing beauty and I wish Rebekah could make me one with swiss military blankets!

Soft-Maps:Using a map as a quilt pattern is simply brilliant and instantly got my two thumbs up. It's equally visually intruiging as beautiful. I'd certainly proudly display one of these soft-maps in my house. How wonderful if we could get them custom made with the maps of our choice!

The Good Books Shelf:I love the height and scale and feel that this dimension would naturally complement any room. It would accentuate the height of a ceiling which I always like (probably because I am short!) The obvious spaces that were designed for storing different size reading materials is functional and makes the surface when filled more interesting. The floating aspect feels light and modern.

Le Petit Dej: I see this concept almost more for commercial use...hotel room service trays...hospital trays. Because it requires a flower and would therefore look empty without one...it would force people to include a flower. A flower is always a welcome addition and would enhance any tray.

The Nature Planter: I love objects that are vehicles for self expression. This piece would reflect each persons individual style by their different choices and combinations of plantings. Each one would be unique…

Soft-Maps:This product combines these for a real double-whammy. I like products that conjure up an emotional response. I think people have a certain emotional attachment to quilts and another emotional attachment to places. Personally, I'm obsessed with city grids, and the idea of putting one on a quilt is original and inspirational. If she could get the mass-customization elements down, this could be an incredible (scalable) line. I want one.

Hello Block Shelving:I love furniture that is uniform, modular, easy to assemble/disassemble, and easy to ship (in standard UPS boxes). Designers who think through manufacturability like this can hit lower price points, reap better margins, and achieve larger scale quicker. The Hello Block looks like it fits the bill, and it reminds me a bit of the Blu Dot Chicago 8-box.

The Translucent Room Divider:I love this product. It solves a problem that most of us in small apartments have: dividing the space while letting light through. I'd use this to hide my flat screen TV and components -- just tuck them away behind one. I think this product has a lot of legs, and I'd love to sell it.
